The hostel is clean, the staff is Very nice and even carried my bag for me. Loved the window with trees outside. The room is spacious. The house slippers and separate bathroom slippers is nice too. My only complaints- the bed is very uncomfortable and the tv only gives you 3 min previews unless you have a subscription. :/

The area is really convenient walking distance to line 1. staff are really friendly and helpful, i communicate with them for an earlier check in and they were ok to accommodate as there was a room available. also offered to help me with my baggage’s. the only thing i disliked was the property was obviously under maintained. but cleanliness was good despite the walls and not maintained. with the price i think its a perfect choice tbh just dont be too picky and you will enjoy your stay. also would like to recommend the property to clean the Air Conditioner.

My friend and I really enjoyed our stay at the Star Hostel Suite. From arriving to leaving the staff was very kind and helpful. The location is super convenient. We would stay here again when visiting Korea again. Thank you so much! Also the free breakfast is a nice touch. It is a very simple set up, but good and does the job.
